Description fuzzybsc 2006-10-23 01:22:54 UTC 
The default template for a new servlet treats GET and POST as the same method.
This is contrary to good and RESTful web practice.

Steps to reproduce:
* Create new servlet

Expected results
* doGet and doPost are separate methods

Actual results
* doGet and doPost both call "processRequest", and their implementations are
folded away from the user
Comment 1 Andrei Badea 2007-10-18 15:13:11 UTC 
Not a defect. The default servlet template is just intended to provide a simple servlet that always does something
meaningful. If you want GET and POST to do different things, you can always edit the respective method.

We could provide a new template (or enhance the default one) to allow you to choose whether GET and POST do the same,
but I don't think that would have a high priority.
Comment 2 fuzzybsc 2007-10-26 03:27:32 UTC 
Ok, but to clarify: GET and POST doing the same thing is a bug. This template is equivalent to one that produces a java
bean using a common implementation for get_foo() and set_foo().
Comment 3 Martin Balin 2016-07-07 08:53:03 UTC 
This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue.

Thanks for your cooperation,
